Help and advice
You can check which Freeview channels should be available in your area on the official Digital UK postcode checker.
The channels that you will be able to receive is also dependent on the
state of your aerial, cabling and the type of receiver you use.

Multiplex capacity
Available multiplex capacity provides an early indication of whether there is any bandwidth
available for any new Freeview channels without closing others down.

There is currently unused capacity on the BBC-B multiplex, enough
for one further HD channel. BBC-B carries channels including BBC One HD,
Channel 4 HD and Film4+1. The BBC's proposals for BBC Three indicate that some of this capacity will be used for BBC One+1.

CLARIFICATION:In January 2015's Freeview Channel Updates, a516digital noted that Ofcom had created two licences for connected Freeview TV service Vision TV. It has been pointed out that this is due to Ofcom's internal systems not coping with the number of individual streamed services contained in the Vision TV licence for its service on channel 244, and does not mean that Vision TV will split over two channels. The reference to this has been removed from the January Freeview Channel Updates page.
